The math and reading levels of elementary school students in the United States fell sharply during COVID-19 pandemicespecially among the most vulnerable schoolchildren, revealed the all-Russian test among 9-year-olds.
On a 500-point scale, overall reading fell from 220 to 215, the biggest drop since 1990, and math fell from 241 to 234, the biggest drop ever.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress was conducted National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) among 14,800 students.
Like all over the world COVID-19 pandemic he turned the American education system upside down: schools were closed or only partly opened, and distance learning courses.
Problems arise before the pandemic
According to NCES Commissioner Peggy G. Carr, the decline was already happening before virus outbreak among the lowest performing students.
“In 2020, among the most backward students, progress in reading began to be lost over time,” Carr wrote on the NCES website, adding that before the pandemic, a similar situation was observed in mathematics.
“Complications COVID-19 they may have exacerbated many of the problems we already face. We know that students who experience the most difficulties lag further behind their peers,” he said.
So, the level maths it rose from 191 to 178 for the most difficult students, while the best performers lost only three points on the NCES scale (from 286 to 283).
The results show that the rate deteriorated faster among African American students (from 225 to 212) than among white students (from 250 to 244).
